    A cheering sanity amongst the endless evasive party voices of the current politics. Thanks so much for your podcasts in this increasingly dreary campaign.

    I've only recently stumbled upon these.

    I had a nightmare last night that I had to vote Tory in order to stop a Refuk candidate winning the seat 😱

    Will someone please point out that CCHQ renamed themselves 'Tax Check UK' right before last night's debate?

    I live in Bristol and the amount of labour ads for Thangam on CZcams around the first 2 weeks of the election being called were astonishing, it was all I was getting

    I keep getting a Labour advert on YT, that if I didn't go check who it was for I'd have no idea if was for them.

    Good point-- American journalists shouldn't stand up when the President walks in. It's strange.

    Could you look into the amounts parties can spend on advertising when it depends on the number of candidates fielded, please? A disproportionately loud party fielded numerous paper candidates, who made little or no attempt to engage with the electorate in the constituencies that they were placed in. Likely that same party overspent on advertising in specific constituencies. Would be of public interest to learn what was going on and where money was ending up. Our democracy relies on trust and honesty, but after this one everything about candidates (I had to bring ID to the polling station in order to vote, but candidates had no obligation to provide the electorate with any proofs of their existence) to campaigns containing provable lies wants tightened and made more accountable.

    how delightful to run across this again, having had to suffer through
    the regressive drivel that the tube'y'all has inflicted on me since it decided
    (for some reason known only to the algo-deities) that I didn't r.e.a.l.l.y. want to watch/listen to
    what I had been watching/listening to for the last decade.

    You were worried about "no one will pick up the phone". Rupert Murdock and Piers Morgan can fix that. And Besos can figure out that if we do away with income taxes and do 8500% tariffs on Chinese imports (Trump idea with no math or logic) besos can "earn" all the money he has been "deferring" for 10 years. Look for Besos's new book "What color is your light saber?"
